Plastic Surgery: Celebrities Then and Now

"I'm not the other man, never have been, never will be," Whitewood said during an interview on the Australian program "Today Tonight."

And while Whitewood pointed out "you can't stop a friendship forming when you are doing a job like this," he was quick to note that "we were just great friends, great partners on the dance floor, that's about it."

As for whether Spencer conveyed there was trouble in paradise between her and Crowe, Whitewood said that when they began dancing together, "she never showed one bit there was problems whatsoever."

"She lives in Sydney. Those photos were taken in Melbourne. That's false straight away," he said. "Staying the night with her--that's another false accusation. We all actually stay in the same hotel, everyone's there.

"We console each other - we do that on the show as well. You don't know what we were saying to each other. It's a photo that says I had my arm around her, but I had my arm around her every day when I danced with her. I was probably in worse situations in front of millions of viewers."

Meanwhile, on Monday, Whitewood tweeted: "Wow! Sad and crazy news day full of rumours I didn't ask for!"
